We continue to require everyone over 2 years old (and without a prohibitive health condition) who enters ELPC or participates in ELPC sponsored programming to wear a mask—both indoors and outdoors—regardless of vaccination status.
East Liberty Presbyterian Church (ELPC) seeks to be a place of radical hospitality for all God’s people. During this time of pandemic, the manner in which hospitality is lived out continues to change. While directives about mask-wearing vary from place to place, we seek to be a community where all people, especially the most vulnerable, can be safely welcomed. While we are encouraged by increasing rates of vaccination in our area, there are still many members of our community who cannot be vaccinated (due to age and or compromised immune system).
We look forward to a time when these measures are not necessary. The Session and Staff of ELPC will continue to monitor CDC, state, and local public health guidelines; vaccination rates and availability; and rates of community transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and will adjust our policy accordingly.
Thank you for your continued patience and partnership as we move ahead in these uncharted waters, and continue to strive to be a faith community that is inclusive of all.
